He is conducting a systematic en 'quiry into the workings of every de partment in the Legislative Assem bly. The idea seems to be to find out what work each bihcial ts doing, how long it takes him, and what. he gets for it.

As far as can be ascertained, the Speaker is quite satisfied that the 'Hansard' staff has plenty to do. Whej Mr. Willis has obtained all the information he requires, ...
